One of the tenants living in my house is a born-again Christian. We can get along for the most part in most things as long as religion doesn't come up. But I have studied the occult and religions for many years and the kind of church she is in actively opposes the occult (or any other religion as demonic).

Please lets not go into the validity of occultism (magic etc.)
What is important is that we have widely different belief systems and that would be fine. But I find it very offensive that she drew a diagram of her prayers. On this diagram she uses the initials of the people living in our house and close friends. And she drew a binding cross through it. She wanted to bind our "worldly knowledge" so we should listen to her. So she can "save" us. I am quite happy with being sceptical about religion. In all honesty I can say Christianity is not my path nor will it ever be. But I find the almost coercive nature of her prayer very offensive. My house by the way.

I got a urine sample at 7.45 in the morning and got it tested around 10 the same morning for pregnancy. The sample was stored in quite a clean bottle. The test came out negative. I want to know if that can be relied upon cuz I’ve heard hormones disintegrate if not stored under a particular pH and temperature. So how will I know for sure if the test was truly negative or if the hormones disintegrated by then?
Plz don’t say take another pregnancy test. I want to know the answer to this question.
Thanx for answering!

I have a backyard garden. Grow the typical tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, beans, and cukes.

My trick is to plant in rows going the same way our dog runs in the yard. That way he can run through it rather than across it. And, I have one crossways path in the middle just in case.

I see a lot of dialog in this forum about how great the Canadian health care program is. I have two Canadian friends who migrated to the US because they paid the equivalent of a 60% income tax rate in Canada, and, in their opinion had better choices for health care and better return on their health care dollars in the US than they did in Canada.

One was a doctor and the other was a surgical nurse. They earn more per year than many Americans, and that may have been a factor. I don't know if the same tax ratio would be applied to a lower income individual.

I am curious as to how many of you would be willing to pay much higher taxes at that rate to have guaranteed health care. It isn't free (as is often implied in this forum) because the tax payer subsidizes it. However, everyone is entitled to good medical care in Canada. The US subsidizes medical care for only the poorest people.

things are really hard at the moment. im 14 years old and one of my best friends is in rehab for depression and self harm. Only two other people apart from me know much about it. My other friends keep asking me questions but i just sit there silent. I phoned her but the school nurse talked to me and said i shouldnt because she is refusing to talk to the councilers there and she tells me things on the phone, the nurses theory is that if she cant let her feelings out to us she will talk to the counciller. however shes getting worse and she still self harms with her nails in there. shes been level 1 for 3 weeks now and im really worried about her. they say if she doesnt start talking theyll chuck her out.
ive been writing letters to her but does anyone have any advice on how to help her ? im so worried about her.
thankyou to anyone that can help.

What does it mean when a Christian relative tells me that my telepathy is the holy spirit?

Was my telepathy a phenomena or controlled accident, or was it created by a chip in my head that was switched on?

WHAT is it? And why?

Two of my kids are over 18. The oldest wants nothing to do with his sex offender/abusive father. My 18 year old daughter started a my space page and my ex found her. She went behind my back and asked him to meet her at a concert we were performing at. She wants to have a relationship with her father and did not want to hear me freak out. This man likes to have sex with 12 year old girls and blames them saying he was raped, when he was over 30. I don't want this person near us. Yet, she thinks she wants a chance.
I can't get her to understand. I had the phone disconnected and internet turned off at the house. But, I worry he may find our house. I had protection through Friend of the Court and Sole custody. He was not to find us from them.
I need to know what to do. I have a 12 year old I share custody with from a later relationship. Her dad is going to flip out and may deny me my visitation when he finds out.
No I can't kick the older daughter out, just not what I can do.

I am recovering. I've recently gone a whole 8 days without binging and purging which is great for me! I want to be honest with my dentist but I don't want to feel humiliated. It's so stupid for the doctors to yell at eating disordered people. WE KNOW already! Any suggestions would be appreciated!
